WineWizzard 94/100
Green-tinged pale mid-gold. Lime blossom, marzipan and pear drop aromas. Plush and quite floral moving forward onto the palate with lemony notes melded with the faintest of fern leaf hints. Almost opulent but held in check with just the right amount of zestiness on the finish.

WineMag 94/100
Subtle fynbos notes precede yellow apple, peach, green melon, grapefruit and elderflower on the nose. The palate has great clarity and linearity – dense fruit, punchy acidity. The finish long and saline. Pure and harmomious. Alc: 13.07%.
